Grizzly G0505 instruction manual Clean Up, Site Considerations

Clean Up

The unpainted surfaces are coated with a waxy oil to protect them from corrosion during shipment. Remove this protective coating with a solvent cleaner or citrus-based degreaser such as Grizzly’s G7895 Degreaser. To clean thoroughly, some parts may need to be removed. For opti- mum performance from your machine, make sure you clean all moving parts or sliding con- tact surfaces that are coated. Avoid chlorine- based solvents as they may damage painted sur- faces should they come in contact. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions when using any type of cleaning product.

Do not use gasoline or other petroleum-based solvents to clean with. They have low flash points which make them extremely flammable. A risk of explosion and burning exists if these p r o d u c t s a r e u s e d .

Do not smoke while using solvents. A risk of explo- sion or fire exists and may result in serious personal injury.

Many of the solvents commonly used to clean machinery can be toxic when inhaled or ingested. Always work in well-ven- tilated areas far from potential ignition sources when dealing with sol- vents. Use care when dis- posing of waste rags and towels to be sure they do not create fire or environ- mental hazards.

Site Considerations

FLOOR LOAD

Your new planer represents a small weight load in a small sized footprint. Most shop floors will be adequate for the weight of this machine, the work- bench, the operator and the material being processed; however, some floors may require additional support. Contact an architect or struc- tural engineer if you have any question about the ability of your floor to handle the weight.

WORKING CLEARANCES

Working clearances can be thought of as the dis- tances between machines and obstacles that allow safe operation of every machine without lim- itation. Consider existing and anticipated machine needs, size of material to be processed through each machine, and space for auxiliary stands or work tables. Also consider the relative position of each machine for efficient material handling. Be sure to allow yourself sufficient room to safely run your machines in any foreseeable operation.

LIGHTING AND OUTLETS

Lighting should be bright enough to eliminate shadow and prevent eye strain. Electrical circuits should be dedicated or large enough to handle combined motor amp loads. Outlets should be located near each machine so power or extension cords are not obstructing high-traffic areas. Be sure to observe local electrical codes for proper installation of new lighting, outlets or circuits.

Make your shop “child safe.” Ensure that your workplace is inaccessible to children by closing and locking all entrances when you are away. DO NOT allow unsupervised children or visitors in the shop at any time.
